ANN'S CROCKPOT CHICKEN STEW
I have sometimes found frozen boneless skinless chicken THIGHS(!) at Wal-Mart. They make life so much easier! I try to stock up when I find them, as
they dont always have them.
Cooking spray (such as Pam, optional)
4-5 frozen chicken thighs (boneless & skinless if possible)
1 can chicken broth
1 can corn (drained)
1 can Italian cut green beans (drained)
1 can pinto beans (undrained)
1 can black beans (undrained)
1 can Great Northern beans (undrained)
1 can tomatoes (I like the diced and get various flavors.
This time I used onions, green peppers & celery.)
1 10-oz can tomatoes with green chiles (such as Ro-tel)
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 4-oz can mushrooms (drained)
1 very small (2-3 oz?) can sliced black olives (drained)
1 can Campbell's cream of chicken soup (I have found name-brand
canned soups superior)
I always spray my crockpot before using with a Pam-like product. Makes clean-up so much easierD!
Combine all ingredients in crockpot, cook 4-5 hrs on high or 8-10 on low. There is enough salt & other flavorings in the soups that I dont use any more.
My crockpot is several years old & only holds about 5 qts or so. I really need a larger one! As I was putting these ingredients in & the cooker had already started, I discovered there wasnt enough room for everything. So I started spooning off the liquid into another bowl.
This could've been added back in later if needed.
I like my stew a little thick, so didnt add any liquid back in. It's in the freezer now waiting for the next stew. I thought later if I didnt use the can of chicken broth, I might have had enough space. (My recipes are
always "works in progress"!
PS: When I drained off the cans of corn, green beans, etc., I saved the liquid & used it to cook rice instead of plain water.
